Introduction

The Manitoba Express Entry Pathway is a part of the Manitoba Immigrant Nominee Program (MPNP). This route is accessible to individuals eligible for an MPNP stream and who satisfy the criteria for Express Entry, maintaining an active profile within the system. Moreover, candidates must secure endorsement from a close acquaintance or family member residing in Manitoba for at least one year.

Those within the Express Entry pool obtaining a provincial nomination through the Express Entry-aligned stream, termed an 'enhanced' nomination, are granted an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points. This significantly enhances their chances of receiving an Invitation To Apply (ITA) for permanent residency in subsequent Express Entry Draws.

Eligibility for this pathway extends to candidates with relevant experience in a Manitoba In-demand Occupation, and may also consider those qualifying under another MPNP stream.
